Hi

I'd like to ask a question about 2038 year unix problem.
I've found a mention about it on on 
http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki/wiki?p=DateAndTimeFunctions wiki page.
Though I cannot grasp the idea of the following phase:

"Also, the localtime() C function normally only works for years between 1970 
and 2037. For dates outside this range, SQLite attempts to map the year into an 
equivalent year within this range, do the calculation, then map the year back. "

Does it mean 2038 must be a problem or not?
What does mapping a year back and forth actually mean?

Now I'm trying to deal with 2038-2039 year dates, but function date just 
returns nulls for all such date strings. Maybe I miss something?

Thanks
